    Some one told me they took two cylinders to make one head for that engine. Is there any truth to this??

    I wish there were more aftermarket parts available here in the states for a Maverick with 250 inline6s as the Australians have for their inline6s. These are actually very good strong engines and if properly modified can really kick some High Horsepower

    That will bolt after cutting apart and reweld. Do you know how much fab work was done? did they have to move head bolt locations. Any pictures? How fast was that pinto with the 300 in it.

    Looks like you didn't read the article in the link. The article states it was a 240 6 cyl head with 427 FE valves.

    I had a buddy from H.S. that had a 300 in his Maverick and it ripped. He had headers on it and a 2 barrel carb with a split ex. manifold dueled off and it sounded pretty good too.

    If I can ever find the article in the stacks of old magazines my dad gave me, it details the build up of what they termed the Boss 300. It was as described above. They took 2 or 3, 351 Cleveland heads and built a head for the 300. I'll do some digging the weekend and see if I can find it. - Matt
